How
Effective is Isometrics? - Is
Isometrics better than Isotonics?
The following quote comes
from an Internet article:
"During the 1960's isometric
exercises had gone
mainstream. Athletes such as
Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle,
Bruce Lee and President
Kennedy all used isometric
workouts and extolled their
benefits. In supermarkets
and news stands you could
find all variety of
isometrics. What happened?"
Our article examines the difference
between the two basic forms of exercise by muscle
contraction and tries to ascertain whether either one is
preferable to the other. Or do both have their advantages
and inherent danger? |
